A2.2 (ONLINE ~ Tues. AM)

Course Description:

A2.2 continues the Advanced Beginner German 2 sequence. This course is the second step in the A2 level and is aimed at students with 12-15 months of German language instruction or the completion of the A2.1 course at the GAI. Students will continue to expand and practice structures they have learned so far. In this course, adjective endings will be introduced. Students will explore prepositions to indicate phrases of time or place. By adding subordinate clauses, or connecting clauses, sentences will become increasingly complex. Pronunciation practice is focusing on individual sounds and more challenging words.

Course Objectives:

At the end of A2.2, students will be able to talk about their personal lives and offer some details about their education and career as well as their hopes and dreams. They can interact in a simple way – provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help. They can make phone calls and take messages.
